    Use the power box as a manual. Its quicker ratio and usually in better shape.

    How do you change power steering to manual without changin the box
    my power steering leaks badly
    and manual steering is cleaner and adds room to the engine bay.......any help would be appreciated...Jim:huh:

    Plus you would want to take off the slave cylinder and change that power valve out with one of those adapters available from any mustang supply house. That power valve has lots of play in it.

    heh, I have nothing to contribute. Mavaholic beat me to it.

    Enjoy tighter steering!
